'...identical to the weapons they used on the Kurds...'

Except that they used chemical weapons on the Kurds and not biological agents.

But really, who fucking cares about details. It's not like we're talking about how the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!

'...and identical to the biological weapons that the UN removed after the 1st gulf war.'

Assert... don't prove. Assert. Don't lose sight of the goal, man.

'How can you be in such denial when the reality is completely in front of your face? Do you ever get a pang of conscience for being so obviously deceptive? Do you get a voice in the back of your head saying "You know, everyone sees this for what it is, there's no way I'm going to pull it off"'

Fucking prove something for once man. Goddammit! You say we gave them WMD then nobody actually posts not a goddamn thing backing it up.

News-FUCKING-Flash! Precursors and dual-use items are not WMD. Especially when they're done under WHO and UN guidelines for transference for research purposes. It's very simple. Now deal with it.

My conscious is fan-fucking-tastic, thanks for asking. Now how's the part of your brain that controls logical thought, want to show me it's up to the task and you actually use it? Can you do that? Can you?

This is the bullshit I have to deal with. People making assertions based on their own belief with reckless disregard for the specifics of the matter. All the while expressing the cocksure attitude so full of piss and vinegar that they're brilliant and anyone who disagrees is an idiot. And yet her we are. Everyone so sure they're goddamned Einstein's for conflating selling dual-use items with actually selling banned weapons.
